Hi, friends. To ilustrate (obviously, only a simplified view): When we talk about "zOS CONSOLE" under VM, we are talking about 3 entities: 1- A VM terminal, create during LOGON command based in CONSOLE card (USER DIRECT). Basically, a 3215 or a 3270 terminal. 2- A NIP terminal (Nucleus Initialization Program), created by the zOS "booter". Can be a System Console (HMC) or a 3215/3270 terminal. Defined in NIPCON into zOS HCD (sw level). 3- A zOS CONSOLE, created by zOS IOCP and used by the ASID CONSOLE. Needs to be a fullscreen terminal (3270). Defined in PARMLIB(CONSOLxx).
Normally, these 3 terminals are the same physical terminal, but they can be different. Option 1: If you want to use XAUTOLOG MVS, use one address to (1) and other different address to (2) and (3). This way: VM side: CONSOLE 01F 3215 DEDICATE 400 400 IODF side: NIPCON 400 Parmlib side CONSOLE 400 The VM side runs on the disconnected 01F, and IPL and zOS part at the 400, that must be a free 3270 (not ENAbled to VM): one Physical 3270, or emulated by OSA-ICC, etc. Option 2: One terminal for the 3 functions. Logon to MVS and let this session to become the ZOS CONSOLE. VM side: CONSOLE 0400 3270 IPL -mvsdasd- IODF side: NIPCON 400 Parmlib side CONSOLE 400 See that this don't IPL CMS, that reset the VM CONSOLE to 3215. If you really need CMS, you need to redefine "CONMODE" to 3270 before IPL. See Alan's email. My suggestion: check what commands must be made in CMS. If only CP commands, put them in directory and don't IPL CMS... "COMMAND COUPLE ..." by example. Of course, all of you can exercise other configurations... ;-) Let we know... PS. There are more considerations: DIAL is reseted by IPL, so DIALed terminals aren't good for IPL, etc. Theme for other emails... ______________________________________________ Clovis From: George Henke/NYLIC <george_he...@newyorklife.com> To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Date: 06/01/2011 19:15 Subject: Re: ZOS Guest Console Not Working Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> Is there some way I can display the attributes of the ZOS guest console from MAINT?

When the PROFILE EXEC is ready to IPL MVS, it needs to issue "CP TERMINAL CONMODE 3270" immediately prior to "IPL". Add commentary to the exec to tell future sysprogs not to insert anything between the two commands. Since you don't have OPTION D8ONECMD, you can actually do the TERMINAL CONMODE 3270 and IPL in the same CP command: "CP TERMINAL CONMODE 3270" || x2c(15) || "IPL whatever" This tends to help avoid accidents.
